Structurally it’s like a series of syncopated opening and closing doors. So the trick is always keeping the audience engaged rather than frustrated by the trek toward a happy ending.ĭirector Frank Coraci and scripter Tim Herlihy work in concert to maintain a quality of farce rooted in human comedy. We know it’s meant to be, and that there will be twists that delay the inevitable. “The Wedding Singer” dishes out the classic romantic comedy predicament of getting them together before the final fade. She believes in love and family and has convinced herself that marriage to Glen (Matthew Glave) - a boorish womanizer - will fulfill her life.Īfter Robbie is stood up at his own wedding, all doubt is erased that these two are the right people with the wrong mates. A waitress at events where Robbie performs, she’s hardly a world beater.
Julia Sullivan (Barrymore) shares that open, ingenuous quality.
What separates the title character from the pack is that in addition to his whole-hearted renditions, he has the “touch.” Robbie knows how to keep the party going, instinctively understands what to say and when, and knows how to disarm a ticking bomb in the form of a surly or soused relative or guest. A little definitely goes a long way in this deft montage sequence.
Robbie belts out “You Spin Me Around (Like a Record)” as images of excess and indulgence are cut to the music. «The Goofball Brothers Show» - Sourcerer.«Do You Believe in Love» - Huey Lewis and the News.«All Night Long (All Night)» - Lionel Richie.«You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)» - Dead or Alive.«Money (That's What I Want)» - Flying Lizards.«Space Age Love Song» - A Flock of Seagulls.«Rapper's Delight» - Sugarhill Gang и Ellen Dow.«Everyday I Write the Book» - Elvis Costello.«Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic» - The Police.«Do You Really Want to Hurt Me» - Boy George.«Video Killed the Radio Star» - The Presidents of the United States of America.
